Description

About Draganfly

Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”) has been a recognized technology leader within the commercial UAV space for over two decades. We helped establish the commercial market & adoption of multi-rotor helicopters for public safety, agriculture, aerial imaging, & more. As a leader who helped shape the industry, Draganfly’s focus is on the sale of drone products and services, contract engineering & custom integration product development, and health monitoring products and services.

About The Role

AiRwash, Draganfly’s drone-powered exterior cleaning division, is seeking a Business Development Lead to drive revenue growth across soft wash, pressure wash, and facade cleaning services for commercial, industrial, and high-end residential customers.

AiRwash uses drone-enabled cleaning methods to deliver exterior services that are faster, safer, and less disruptive—expanding traditional exterior cleaning capabilities.

This is an early-stage, hands-on sales role focused on building the pipeline, engaging customers in the field, and supporting operations. As the division scales, this role will evolve into a full-service sales and scheduling function.

We’re not looking for a fast-talking closer — we’re looking for someone who listens, communicates value clearly, and builds long-term relationships.

Key Responsibilities

Generate and manage outbound/inbound sales, own the full sales cycle, create proposals, and maintain accurate CRM tracking and reporting.
Build and maintain client relationships through site visits, demos, follow-ups, and consistent engagement with key decision‑makers.
Coordinate closely with operations to schedule jobs, communicate service expectations, and support occasional field logistics or job‑site visits.
Collect customer feedback and collaborate with the team to refine pricing, messaging, service packaging, and sales materials.
Develop early sales collateral, presentations, and content that support market education and business growth.
Lead AiRwash’s outward-facing social presence by creating and sharing content that highlights field operations, customer outcomes, and brand credibility.
Drive long-term revenue opportunities through pipeline building, retention, expansion, and referral networks.

Who are you really?

You build trust through active listening, clear communication, and genuine relationship‑building.
You’re comfortable on job sites, talking with facilities teams, and learning technical details that make you a credible partner.
You stay organized, manage your pipeline proactively, and follow through without being reminded.
You can juggle prospecting, proposals, site visits, and customer follow‑ups while keeping everything moving.
You adapt quickly in a startup environment and bring a solutions‑oriented, positive mindset.
You’re self‑driven, dependable, and energized by helping build a division that’s still in its early stages.
You’re comfortable with technology and eager to learn tools like CRM platforms and AiRwash’s drone‑enabled cleaning capabilities.
You want to help shape a growing brand—not just close deals.
